DU FRESNOY's Poem. It is here given from the former Editions ; but the liberty has been taken of making some alterations in the Version, which, when compared with the Original in French, appeared either to be done very carelessly by Mr. DRYDEN, or (what is more probable) to be the work of some inferior hand which he employed on the occasion.
